Imagine if, all of a sudden, there was an explosion of middle-aged men suffering from anorexia. Emaciated men were everywhere,but no one was allowed to investigate the cause. We all had to pretend it was perfectly normal. Wouldn't that be weird?/1 #ROGDAwarenessDay
Well that's exactly what happened with gender dysphoria, but in reverse. A condition that historically affected predominantly middle-aged men suddenly, around the mid-2010s, started to strike teenage girls, and people are forbidden from asking why./2 #ROGDAwarenessDay
In 2018 Lisa Littman conducted the first study of this group,using methodologies that are considered perfectly acceptable when used in studies that support gender-affirming care for children. Nevertheless the backlash from trans activists was swift and vicious/3 #ROGDAwarenessDay
Activists will try to tell you Littman's 2018 #ROGD study was discredited. It wasn't. Trans activists screeched; the journal it was published in panicked and retracted it. That's not how these things are done, but trans activists don't play by the rules./4 archive.ph/2021.07.04-154β¦
#ROGD is just a descriptive term for the phenomenon of teenagers with no history of gender dysphoria suddenly announcing a trans identity, typically after spending an enormous amount of time online, and often after a friend comes out as trans./5 #ROGDAwarenessDay
Anyone not blinded by ideology can see that it's real. The evidence is everywhere. Talk to teachers. They all know it's real. Read the devastating stories told by parents of these #ROGD kids, then imagine it happening to your own child/6 #ROGDAwarenessDay pitt.substack.com/p/the-abyss
We were all caught off guard. We weren't aware of the danger until it was too late. In our desperate bid to be tolerant and inclusive,we allowed an insidious ideology to capture all our institutions and do devastating harm to countless young people./7 #ROGDAwarenessDay
"What will you say to these people when they grow up? Will you say that you turned a blind eye? Will you say you were too afraid to speak? For goodness sake what will it take to stop the harm?"/end
For over a century, doctors have been trying to cure mental illness by outlandish means. From the removal of ovaries in the late 1800s to the amputation of breasts and penises today, there is a long history of unethical and barbaric treatments./1
In the late 19th century, the female reproductive system was thought to be the cause of a range of mental disorders afflicting women. Thousands of mostly young women had their perfectly healthy uteri and/or ovaries removed as a supposed cure for their mental distress./2
In the early 1900s, surgical bacteriology was popular. This stemmed from the belief that mental illness was caused by diseased parts of the body. Between 1920 and 1930, Dr Henry Cotton, Director of the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum, removed over 11,000 teeth./3
This is wonderful news. The Tavistock is an utterly dysfunctional service that failed miserably in its duty of care. So many vulnerable gay, lesbian, and autistic teens have been pushed towards medical transition by this ideologically captured service. archive.ph/UTXAW
This news won't have any impact here in Canada. No media outlet will pick it up. No politician will comment on it. Because we live in a bubble of insanity here, in which children are born in the wrong body and chemically castrating homosexual teens is something to celebrate.
As the rest of the world wakes up to the horror unfolding in gender clinics, Canada just continues hurtling down the track towards catastrophe. Nova Scotia just made it easier for people to get healthy body parts chopped off in the name of a lie.
In the not-too-distant future, when this medical scandal is over, everyone will look back on articles like this one and be horrified that journalists could ever have displayed such poor judgement. It's nonsense like this that is fuelling this devastating social contagion./1
@cbcnewsbc - are you unaware of the media role in spreading social contagions? Have you never heard of the multiple personality epidemic of the 80s? The satanic panic? Anorexia contagion in Hong Kong? Global contagion of bulimia? All spread by the media.
You are doing exactly the same thing now with this utter drivel. For goodness' sake, educate yourselves about this social contagion and about what is happening to these children and then stop contributing to horror that is unfolding in these gender clinics
It astounds me that there are still so many people out there who refuse to believe we're dealing with a social contagion of gender dysphoria. Surely there's never been a more obvious one in all of history./1
I mean, if it's not a social contagion, how do we explain this sudden, dramatic surge in numbers? Isn't it at least possible that something occurred in our culture in the second decade of the 21st century that triggered a contagion of gender dysphoria in teenagers?/2
What could it be? Let's have a look. In 2014 the cover of Time magazine heralded the next civil rights movement with The Transgender Tipping Point. I Am Jazz first aired in 2015, as did Louis Theroux's Transgender Kids. The concept of the trans child had now entered the lexicon/3
Just over a week ago, a terrible crime was committed in downtown Ottawa, when a group of women allegedly went around putting stickers on lampposts with messages such as:
woman = adult human female
and
Keep Prisons Single Sex
/1
This prompted a local member of the trans community to do some detective work and name several Twitter accounts, my own included, as suspects. The blog post contains some wildly inaccurate misrepresentations of the gender critical movement./2
The best quote is this one:
"they're trying to frame trans rights as being at odds with women's rights"
There is no more perfect example that trans rights are "at odds with women's rights" than saying that the dictionary definition of woman is a transphobic hate crime./3
When I first learned about the atrocity being committed in paediatric gender clinics, I imagined that when it finally came under scrutiny, the house of cards would collapse in an instant./1
But now having witnessed people ignore Sweden & Finland halting paediatric transition, not bat an eyelid at the damning findings of England's Cass Review, and completely disregard the developments in certain US states, I realise people can ignore any truth no matter how obvious/2
The explanation for this is what psychologist Anthony Greenwald calls the totalitarian ego, which he says functions like a police state, suppressing incompatible evidence, no matter how strong and compelling, and locking away threatening ideas./3
